Vroom, vroom!
The Noddycar is mine, all mine!
Collected it at lunchtime (in pouring rain, of course) and drove back to the office as Tall Andy, Flash, Leah, Joseph and Sticky had shown an interest in seeing it.
Getting in and out is going to take some getting used to, especially when the roof’s up - as Lucy Lastic mentioned in a recent phone conversation, I’ll not be wearing a kilt while driving it - but I haven’t knocked my head yet today.
Just got to work out how to get my luggage for the trip to Wales in. As Joseph pointed out, with the roof stowed there’s about enough room in the boot for a baguette and a bit of cheese :-).
The Pioneer stereo/iPod adapter seems to working like a dream, too - no more switching frequency as I wander the country. Marvellous.
I’ll let you know what the drive was like when I get to Torchwood Town. I’m planning to meet a woman for lunch, so I’m sure she’ll give her own unbiased review once she’s seen it.
Toot, toot.
Oh, and I rang the DVLA this afternoon to order a personalised plate after all. Not one of those expensive ones, mind. It’s just a pity that R4RSH wasn’t available.
Toot, toot.

The answer to the packing for trips problem - is a rucksack on the seat beside you - strapped in, of course! You could always buy it a mask and a blonde wig!
Lionel: Absolutely - can’t even get the laptop bag into the boot if I’m planning to lower the roof! Trips away seem to involve a decision between travelling extremely light or going alone.
